My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida
All right, my boyfriend and his father got into a fistfight on Tuesday night. The polica were called, and my boyfriend was taken to the county jail. I'd like to know first just what exactly the usual process is from that point, because I'm having to find out everything through his family since it's currently a long distance relationship, and I really don't trust them to give me accurate information.
So first of all I just want to find out the normal process for this kind of thing. Thank you! Sorry if this isn't descriptive enough, I can add more details if needed, I just figured I'd start simple... this is all pretty overwhelming. Also, if it makes a difference, this is the first thing he has ever been arrested for. His father, however, has had the cops called on him numerous times in the past (several times for getting into fights with his son), not to mention he recently had several court dates he went to over some kind of drug test refusal thing--whether or not he actually refused, I don't know. He is under house arrest right now though.
